Unleashing your potentials - by Maureen Richard

1.Once
upon a time, a soldier who was caught in war was chained and arrested. He was
taken to a faraway island and kept in a cave with doors closed and locked.
Initially, he tried to break the lock to escape. Since it was locked he could
not escape. He was provided with water and limited food to survive. He tried to
break the lock for a few days. But he gradually gave up his endeavours. After
few days, he heard noises from outside. When he came to the door and checked it
was kept unlocked. In between, the lock was removed by the people who left the
island. But the jailed soldier’s mind was conditioned to think that the he was
locked. Similarly, in our daily life, we have preconceived notions and thoughts
which are difficult to be broken. Once these are broken then we can unleash the
power of human mind.

Let go of the past;
Research reveals that people waste 30 per cent of their precious time by
thinking about the past that cannot be altered. The past worries or concerns or
regrets stifles our energies and kills enthusiasm. Future is uncertain and
cannot be predicted. There is no meaning in thinking about the future which is
not in our hands. What we have now is only present. Therefore, always learn to
live in present. Think what you would do if you were to die today. When this
attitude is developed then the maximum energies can be harnessed for achieving
all-round success as people don’t waste their precious time and energies. Don’t
let your past affect you whatever mistakes you made then don’t let them hold you
back today from being the best version of you.
